Vehicle equipped with regenerative generator

Abstract

A vehicle includes a power storage unit, a regenerative generator, and an electronic control unit. The regenerative generator is connected to the power storage unit and is configured to perform regenerative power generation. The electronic control unit is configured to perform regeneration amount enlargement control in which positions of stopping and deceleration of the vehicle by input of driver's operations are predicted or set based on route information, regenerative power generation by the regenerative generator is controlled, and a regeneration power amount charged into the power storage unit is enlarged. The electronic control unit is configured to restrict the regeneration amount enlargement control when executing a predetermined vehicle speed adjustment mode by comparison with when the predetermined vehicle speed adjustment mode is not selected, the vehicle running with automatic adjustment of vehicle speed in the predetermined vehicle speed adjustment mode selected by intentional input from the driver.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A vehicle comprising:
 a power storage unit; 
 a regenerative generator connected to the power storage unit, the regenerative generator being configured to implement regenerative power generation; and 
 an electronic control unit configured to: 
 (a) perform regeneration amount enlargement control in which positions of stopping and deceleration of the vehicle by input of driver's operations are predicted or set based on route information, the regenerative power generation by the regenerative generator being controlled in the regeneration amount enlargement control, a regeneration power amount charged into the power storage unit being enlarged in the regeneration amount enlargement control, and 
 (b) restrict the regeneration amount enlargement control when executing a predetermined vehicle speed adjustment mode by comparison with when the vehicle speed adjustment mode is not selected, the vehicle running with automatic adjustment of vehicle speed in the predetermined vehicle speed adjustment mode selected by intentional input from the driver. 
 
     
     
       2. The vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the electronic control unit is configured to perform the regeneration amount enlargement control based on a result obtained by learning positions at which the vehicle is stopped and decelerated by input of driver's operations. 
 
     
     
       3. The vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the electronic control unit is configured to perform the regeneration amount enlargement control based on traffic infrastructure-related information. 
 
     
     
       4. The vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the electronic control unit is configured to have an HV mode and an EV mode, 
 the electronic control unit is configured to create a predetermined travel plan so as to implement switching between the HV mode and the EV mode based on route information, and perform mode switching control based on the travel plan, and 
 the electronic control unit is configured to perform the mode switching control based on the travel plan while restricting the regeneration amount enlargement control in running in the predetermined vehicle speed adjustment mode when the predetermined vehicle speed adjustment mode is selected. 
 
     
     
       5. The vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the electronic control unit is configured to perform control of changing a control target value of a residual charge amount in the power storage unit based on route information; and 
 the electronic control unit is configured to perform the control of changing the control target value of the residual charge amount while restricting the regeneration amount enlargement control in running in the predetermined vehicle speed adjustment mode when the predetermined vehicle speed adjustment mode is selected. 
 
     
     
       6. The vehicle equipped with a regenerative generator according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a display unit configured to display a first predetermined display representing execution of the regeneration amount enlargement control when the regeneration amount enlargement control is executed. 
 
     
     
       7. The vehicle according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the display unit is configured to be controlled by the electronic control unit such that the first predetermined display is turned off during execution of the predetermined vehicle speed adjustment mode. 
 
     
     
       8. The vehicle according to  claim 6 , wherein during inhibition or restriction of the regeneration amount enlargement control the display unit is controlled by the electronic control unit such that a second predetermined display representing the inhibition or restriction is displayed.
